Product details
Overview
AH1884-ZG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, ultra-sensitive dual-output Hall effect switch with two independent Hall plates and CMOS drivers, designed for battery-powered handheld devices. It operates from 1.65V to 3.3V, consumes only 7–12 µA average supply current at 1.8V, features ±37–55 G operate points (south/north pole), and delivers active-high and active-low complementary outputs in SOT553 package.
For engineers reviewing the AH1884-ZG-7 datasheet, AH1884-ZG-7 pinout, AH1884-ZG-7 application, or AH1884-ZG-7 equivalent, key selection considerations include magnetic sensitivity symmetry (Bop/Brp hysteresis), dual-output logic polarity, micropower operation below 15 µW, and SOT553 footprint compatibility in space-constrained mobile sensor designs.
Technical Context
The AH1884-ZG-7 integrates chopper-stabilized amplifiers with offset cancellation for each Hall plate, enabling stable switching across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) with <8 G typical hysteresis. Its dual-output architecture provides simultaneous active-high (Out2) and active-low (Out1) signals without external inversion logic.
Operation relies on magnetic flux density thresholds: output turns on when |B| exceeds Bop (±37–55 G), remains latched until |B| falls below Brp (±15–29 G), and exhibits <0.1% duty cycle in low-power sampling mode with 50–100 µs wake-up time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65 V to 3.3 V - supports single-cell Li-ion and alkaline battery systems without regulation |
| Avg. Supply Current | 7–12 µA at 1.8 V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered sensors |
| Operate Point (Bop) | ±37–55 G - detects weak magnetic fields from small magnets or low-strength actuation |
| Release Point (Brp) | ±15–29 G - ensures reliable release with ≥3 G hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold |
| Output Types | Complementary: Out1 (active-low), Out2 (active-high) - eliminates need for external inverters |
| Operating Temp. | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer handheld and industrial ambient environments |
| ESD Rating | >4 kV HBM - withstands handling and assembly electrostatic discharge without protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT553 - 5-pin, 1.7 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.6 mm surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Out2) | Active-high digital output | Drives high-impedance loads directly; sinks ≤0.5 mA when low |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for both outputs and internal circuitry |
| 3 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| 4 (Vdd) | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.65–3.3 V; bypass capacitor recommended within 2 mm |
| 5 (Out1) | Active-low digital output | Drives low-impedance loads; sources ≤0.5 mA when high |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALLEGRO A3212LLHLT-T | Single-output (open-drain), 2.5–3.6 V supply, 5 µA quiescent current, ±35 G Bop | Lacks complementary outputs; requires external pull-up and inverter for dual-signal interface | Preferred where board area permits discrete logic and lower supply voltage range is acceptable |
| MELEXIS US5881LUA-AAA-000-REEL | Single-output (push-pull), 2.7–24 V supply, 3.5 µA avg. current, ±25 G Bop | Higher voltage tolerance but reduced sensitivity; no dual-output capability | Suitable for wider-input industrial systems where 1.65–3.3 V operation is not required |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US5881LUA-AAA-000-REEL, AH1884-ZG-7 uniquely delivers true complementary outputs in a micropower, low-voltage package-enabling direct MCU interface without added components while maintaining sub-55 G operate sensitivity critical for compact handheld designs.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 3 (NC) on the AH1884-ZG-7?
Pin 3 is a no-connect terminal with no internal bond wire or circuit connection. It must remain unconnected in the PCB layout; Diodes Incorporated's AP02001 recommends leaving it floating or optionally tying it to GND for mechanical stability, but not for electrical functionality. This pin does not affect device operation or magnetic performance.
Can AH1884-ZG-7 operate reliably at 1.65 V supply?
Yes - the AH1884-ZG-7 is fully specified down to 1.65 V, with guaranteed operate/release points and 7–12 µA average current at that voltage. Electrical characteristics including Bop (±37–55 G) and Brp (±15–29 G) remain valid across the full 1.65–3.3 V range, making it suitable for aging primary batteries or undervoltage brown-out conditions.
How do the dual outputs (Out1 and Out2) behave under magnetic field transitions?
Out1 (active-low) and Out2 (active-high) are strictly complementary: when magnetic flux exceeds Bop, Out1 goes low and Out2 goes high; when flux drops below Brp, both revert simultaneously - Out1 rises and Out2 falls. The outputs are internally latched and share identical timing (50–100 µs wake-up, no propagation delay mismatch).
Is AH1884-ZG-7 qualified for automotive use?
No - AH1884-ZG-7 is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation and intended for consumer handheld equipment (cellular phones, PDAs, cordless phones). It lacks AEC-Q200 qualification, extended temperature grade (−40°C to +125°C), or automotive-specific reliability testing. For automotive cabin or body applications, Diodes' AH336xQ series or equivalent AEC-Q200 Hall switches should be selected instead.
